Building A Cardboard City

Well, this is officially one of the craziest things I’ve been a part of, and that’s really saying something. Hilary Grist and I, with a little help from our friends, are in process of creating an 8ft long, 4ft wide and 6ft tall cardboard city on top of a cardboard grand piano. “Why on earth would you do that?” you may ask. We’ve asked ourselves that same question many times throughout this long process, but the simple answer is for a music video. Yes, all of this crazy set is for Hilary’s new music video for her song, ‘Tall Buildings’. It seemed like a fairly simple task in the beginning but let me tell you, once you start building a cardboard city – you just can’t stop! The coolest part is that all of the cardboard came from our building’s cardboard recycling – now that’s re-using!
